Maryland Family Photographer | Sanderson Family Reunion

8/27/2014

There isn't much Cliff and I dislike about living in the DC metro, but one of the things that we find challenging is not having a connection to this area's history.  Sure, we know where George Washington lived and all about the place where Abe Lincoln was shot, but we don't know the intimate details of every-day life occurrences. It's just something that goes along with being a transplant.

I think that's why I found photographing the Sanderson Family reunion so refreshing. This incredible family can trace their lineage back six generations to civil war hero Charles Theodore Sanderson. Originally from Philadelphia, Sanderson moved to D.C., and this is where his family has made their home for nearly 150 years.
I can't believe how much research and prep work went into this reunion. Before greeting each other, members of the family were asked to put a colored sticker on themselves to show from which descendants of Charles they are from. Later, a presentation was made where inspiring stories from generations long past were told.

The best part, though, was seeing the oldest member of the family -- Uncle George -- meet the youngest member of the family. Everyone was grinning from ear to ear, me included!

Here's to you, Sanderson Family. May you live long and prosper!
